Description
”You are walking up some stairs. There is a landing. In the middle of the landing, there is a large window. Gazing through the window you look down a 50 foot long light space. The space is really a room made of white cloth suspended beneath a 50-foot skylight. There is nothing in the room except light.
A cloud begins to obscure the sun. Because the room amplifies the light, the room seems to breathe. it is getting smaller in front of your eyes. At the far end of the floating space, there is a smaller window. It looks black. People appear. They appear in an odd flattened way. They wave. You wave. The work is intended as an interactive light piece.”
-Eric Orr (1985)
